Frugal Mindset Leads to Less Noise and Clutter

A frugal mindset and thrifting lifestyle can change your life, even where you least expect it. For example, I love my new, simplified morning work routine!

Partly responsible is this very simplistic, but beautiful tote I picked up at the Binghamton Thrifty Shopper. When packing for work, I had this “wow” moment where I felt that a burden had finally been lifted.

“Could I possibly be reaping the rewards of this new lifestyle,” I asked myself. I could get used to this!

Let me clarify.

I used to have an overstuffed tote. It was difficult to carry, often with items spilling over, and made me feel like a bag lady. With my new frugal mindset, I now have a very minimal, efficient set up and I LOVE it!

I received this book free for making a donation to a family-focused charitable organization. In doing so, I also learned of the authors personal circumstances, which has inspired my next month’s charitable contribution.

In conclusion, thrifting and a frugal lifestyle have afforded me multiple gains: the occasional splurge GUILT FREE; the ability to increase giving; and the power to minimize the “noise” and clutter that left me overwhelmed and broke. One word: LIFECHANGING. ❤️
